Attaching Word doc to post
I have a "Word97 - 2003" document that I have been trying to attach to a post, several times today, from two different computers, I keep getting an error message and it doesn't get attached.
Are ".doc" files no longer being accepted? It is only 790kb and according to the attachments window, the size limit is 5.72MB

I attempted to upload a .doc of 24KB using Word 2003. I got the following error message

PatriceJ is out of town right now, but I will ask her to refer this to Admin techs; so it may be a while before we get an answer.

i will inform my POC of the .doc issue.
however, it's always best to use a .pdf version because a lot of people might not have a .doc compatible word processor installed on their computers.
just about everybody has a .pdf reader installed.
